Do you know where your money is going?

From Middle East Forum, 28 Nov 2016:

Ibrahim
Cooper (L), spokesperson, and Nihad Awad (R), executive director, for the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR was recently
designated as a terrorist organization by an ally of the United States.

...The Middle East Forum encourages Muslims and non-Muslims alike to
support several important Muslim groups that are anti-Islamist, including:

But
there are also organizations masquerading as civil rights groups and
humanitarian aid groups which raise tax-deductible funds to promote extremist
ideals.

...we are providing a list of prominent Islamist organizations that shouldnot be supported:

the Council on American Islamic Relations,

Muslim
American Society,

Islamic Society of North America, Islamic Circle of North
America,

Helping Hand for Relief and Development, and

Islamic Relief.

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

CAIR presents itself as a civil rights
organization fighting against bigotry, but its record tells a different story.
During the 2008 Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terrorism financing trial, CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. Because
of CAIR’s extremist associations, the FBI has banned outreach with CAIR since
2008. In 2014, the United Arab Emirates, a pious Muslim country, designated CAIR as a terrorist
organization. The Anti-Defamation League believes CAIR is a key promoter of
anti-Jewish sentiment.
Six CAIR leaders have been arrested, convicted, or deported for
terrorism-related crimes: Randall (“Ismail”) Royer, Ghassan Elashi, Bassem Khafagi, Rabih Haddad, Nabil Sadoun, and Muthanna Al-Hanooti. These terrorism links are
unsurprising, given CAIR’s promotion of hate preachers Regularspeakers at CAIR events include Suhaib Webb
and Omar Suleiman, who have respectivelydescribed homosexuality as an “evil
inclination” and a “repugnant, shameless sin.” CAIR leaders seem to follow
their imams’ theological instruction. In 2009, CAIR-Florida executive director
Hassan Shibly called homosexuality a “quick way to earn
God’s wrath” and “evil.”Muslim American Society (MAS)

MAS was founded in 1993 by operatives of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Chicago Tribune reported in 2004 that a
MAS summer camp for teens included study materials promoting the Brotherhood’s
philosophy. According to the Investigative Project, one
MAS website even featured “reading materials that say Muslims have a duty to
help form Islamic governments worldwide and should be prepared to take up arms
to do so.” The ADL has criticized MAS for being “the leading American Muslim
organization organizing anti-Israel activity in the U.S.” In 2014, MAS was designated by the UAE as a terrorist
organization.

Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)

ISNA emerged from the Muslim Students Association,
which was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and continues to serve
as a breeding ground for terrorists. A 1991
Brotherhood memorandum laying out its plan to infiltrate
American institutions includes ISNA on its list of “our organizations and the
organizations of our friends.”
ISNA was designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF’s illegal
financing of Hamas. Specifically, ISNA was named among the “individuals/entities who are
and/or were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.” A judge later ruled that the government had “produced ample
evidence” connecting ISNA to the HLF and Hamas. Indeed, ISNA had a joint bank account into which checks payable to “the
Palestinian Mujahadeen” (Hamas) were deposited.

Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)

In 2000, ICNA identified itself as an American front for
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), a Pakistani Islamist group that officials have linked to
the Taliban and other terrorist organizations. JI’s extremist ideology pervades
all aspects of ICNA: The 2010 ICNA handbook promotes the writings of JI’s
anti-Jewish, pro-terror founder and outlines a strategy for building a “united
Islamic state.” A war crimes tribunal recently convicted ICNA’s former
secretary general Ashrafuzzaman Khan of murdering 18 intellectuals during the
Bangladesh War of Independence. In 2013, ICNA openly protested the convictions
of senior JI leaders in Bangaldesh, a fact that JI reported on its own website.
ICNA’s “charitable” wing, ICNA Relief, also backs extremist causes and was a top donor to the Al-Khidmat Foundation, a JI
charity that, while being supported by ICNA Relief in 2006, delivered almost $100,000 to the head of
Hamas.

Helping Hand for Relief and Development
Helping Hand is a large Islamist charity, boasting an income of over $40 million in
2015. Helping Hand was also a donor to JI’s Al-Khidmat Foundation. Helping
Hand is notorious for promoting hate preachers at its events across the U.S.
Recent speakers include Hussain Kamani, who advocates the use of female sex slaves and the
killing of adulterers; and Sulaiman Hani, who writes that “‘freedom of speech’ is a
facade of a tool that is used inconsistently by those in power.” It is used,
Hani claims, to stifle “objective discussion” of the “Holocaust or Jews.”

Islamic Relief
The Islamic Relief franchise is the largest Islamic charity in America and the
Western world, reporting an income of about $110 million in
2014. But it is a designated terrorist entity in Israel and even the UAE. Both UBS and HSBC have closed Islamic Relief bank accounts over
reported concerns about terrorism financing. And the founders of Islamic
Relief’s parent branch in Britain include Essam El-Haddad, who became the foreign policy advisor to Mohamed
Morsi, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood president.

In America, a number of Islamic Relief officials, including board chairman
Khaled Lamada, have been named by the Egyptian newspaper El Watan
as prominent Muslim Brotherhood operatives. Islamic Relief USA staff include
Omar Shahin, who, in 2002, gave a sermon in which he preached: “You will keep on fighting with the
Jews until the fight reaches the east of Jordan river then the stones and
trees will say: oh Muslim, oh (servant) slaves of Allah, there is a Jew behind
me; come and kill him.” Islamic Relief’s headquarters, based in Britain, have a
financial relationship with terror-linked charities. In 2004, 2007,
and 2009, Islamic Relief Worldwide’s accounts revealed large donations from
the Charitable Society for Social Welfare, founded by Al-Qaeda
terrorist and “Bin Laden loyalist” Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani. According to the Washington Post,
“U.S. and U.N. authorities accuse Zindani of recruiting for al-Qaeda camps and
raising money for weapons for terrorist groups.”
